• The micro CL-100 is designed for use at
distances up to 100 feet (30 m). Use in
bright sunlight may reduce the usable
distance. The laser viewing glasses
are designed to enhance the visibility
of the laser, but they do not protect
against laser radiation. Never look into
the laser.
• Always ensure the laser beam is aimed
at surfaces without reflective proper-
ties. Shiny surfaces may cause the laser
beam to be reflected back at the user
or others and may be hazardous to the
eyes. Wood, rough or painted surfaces
are generally acceptable. In some cas-
es, applying a commercially available
laser target plate may help in locating
the laser on surfaces.
• Make sure that the area is clear of by -
standers and other distractions to help
prevent inadvertent eye contact with
the laser beam.
3. Make sure the laser has been properly
inspected before each use.
4. Set up the micro CL-100 Laser for the
application. Take care to ensure that as
many measuring points as possible can
be reached.
The laser unit can be mounted to the
elevated tripod or any other attachment
with the

" – 11 thread on the underside
of the unit. If using the tripod, fully open
the tripod legs and use the quick-release
clamps on the tripod legs to adjust the
tripod height and level.
Whatever configuration the laser is used
in, it must be secure and stable to pre-
vent the unit from tipping or falling. The
laser must be placed within ±6° of level
to self level when turned ON.

erly checked and calibrated.
